Growth in sub-Saharan Africa should again average about 6½ percent in 2008 with oil exporters leading the way; meanwhile, growth in oil importers is expected to taper off, though only modestly. With food and energy prices still rising, inflation is projected to average about 8½ percent this year for countries in the region, setting aside Zimbabwe. Risks in 2008 are tilted to the downside, but the region is better placed today to withstand a worsening of the global environment. 410 0$aRegional Economic Outlook 517 3 $aRegional economic outlook. 517 3 $aSub-Saharan Africa Apr. 08 606 $aMonetary policy$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aForeign exchange rates$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aCapital movements$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aPower resources$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aInvestments: Energy$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aInflation$2imf 606 $aMoney and Monetary Policy$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aInternational Investment$2imf 606 $aLong-term Capital Movements$2imf 606 $aPrice Level$2imf 606 $aDeflation$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General$2imf 606 $aElectric Utilities$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aMonetary economics$2imf 606 $aInvestment & securities$2imf 606 $aExchange rate arrangements$2imf 606 $aCapital inflows$2imf 606 $aInflation targeting$2imf 606 $aExchange rates$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aBalance of payments$2imf 606 $aMonetary policy$2imf 606 $aCapital flows$2imf 606 $aCapital movements$2imf 606 $aMoney supply$2imf 606 $aElectric utilities$2imf 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xEconomic conditions$y1960- 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xEconomic policy 607 $aSouth Africa$2imf 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 0$aForeign exchange rates 615 0$aCapital movements 615 0$aPower resources 615 7$aInvestments: Energy 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aInflation 615 7$aMoney and Monetary Policy 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aInternational Investment 615 7$aLong-term Capital Movements 615 7$aPrice Level 615 7$aDeflation 615 7$aMonetary Policy 615 7$aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General 615 7$aElectric Utilities 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aMonetary economics 615 7$aInvestment & securities 615 7$aExchange rate arrangements 615 7$aCapital inflows 615 7$aInflation targeting 615 7$aExchange rates 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aBalance of payments 615 7$aMonetary policy 615 7$aCapital flows 615 7$aCapital movements 615 7$aMoney supply 615 7$aElectric utilities 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780743803321 996 $aRegional Economic Outlook, April 2008, Sub-Saharan Africa$93807553 997 $aUNINA
